decisions

This is whats on the docket as of late. We have three possible roads to take.

1.) Find a job overseas = move after the baby comes, have an adventure and give us another year to prepare for the process of buying a house and decide better where we want to set down some roots
2.) Buy a house = awful commute for 2 more months. Chas doesn't see Olive until Thursdays... then go overseas in about a year and rent our house.
3.) Rent a house = move sooner and pay someone else's mortgage... 1 more move to our leap frogging life. Be closer to work


Right now Chas' commute is 2 hours each way. It makes me sad just thinking about it and I don't know how he does it. His days are even longer because he works 10/4's so he can take Fridays off. This is the only thing that saves us but it also makes it harder Mon-Thurs.

As of right now I am in the go overseas camp and Chas is more for buying and staying with his company for longer. Who knows what we'll end up doing and I know I'll be excited for any of the above. I just want to know now.

Virginian Safari

Last weekend we went to Safari Park. It really lived up to its name and was surprisingly what I imagine a safari would be like, minus the jeeps and extreme heat. There were Giraffes and ostriches, crazy monkey's and kangaroos. It was so fun for Olive and we got to feed and feed and feed all the animals. On the "safari" part of the park they come right up to the window of your door expecting food. It is pretty amazing but I was wishing we had a truck and not a tiny Prius. I felt a little vulnerable so low compared to the huge animals.

Unfortunately we left our camera card at home so iphone pics will have to do.

All set with our safari hats!

life after death

I recently read this book and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since. Being a believer in the afterlife this was an amazing secular view at the evidence of the possibilities of our spirits continuing a journey beyond this world. I highly recommend it and if you do have a chance to read it I would love to hear any and all reactions.

D'Souza is also the author of Whats So Great About Christianity, also an interesting lens to analyze a typically personal and spiritual thought process.
